UK KFA statement-DPRK promotes peace

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION

London 18th of August 

                   Recently the DPRK and south Korea came to an agreement over the Kaesong Industrial Zone(KIZ) . This step was taken to try and relax tensions and also help struggling south Korean businesses. Today the DPRK has suggested holding talks on family reunions.
            The DPRK daily newspaper Rodong Sinmun stated
"A new war didn't break out and peace has been preserved on the peninsula under so tense situation entirely thanks to the DPRK, which has consistently pursued a peace-loving policy.
    The Korean people love peace more than any others and the DPRK is a peace-loving state which regards it as the main tenet of its foreign policy to preserve peace. Its socialist policy is peace-loving in its nature. The building of a thriving socialist nation stepped up by the Korean people requires a peaceful environment.
    The DPRK has made consistent efforts to turn the armistice on the peninsula into lasting peace. However, it failed to settle on the peninsula despite the DPRK's sincere efforts.
    This is attributable to the dishonest attitude of Washington toward the just and aboveboard proposal of the DPRK.
    Entering the new century Washington turned its face away from the DPRK's proposal calling on the countries concerned with the Armistice Agreement (AA) to push ahead with the issue of declaring the termination of war and its offer to start talks for replacing the AA with a peace treaty as soon as possible in the year marking the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean war, etc. The former took such persistent stand of turning down all the peace proposals and initiatives of the latter because the former lacked the will to turn truce into lasting peace.
    Had the U.S. accepted any of those proposals of the DPRK, lasting peace would have already settled on the peninsula.
    Stronger will be the stand and will of the DPRK to preserve stability and peace on the Korean Peninsula and contribute to defending world peace. -0-"

UK KFA applaud these peace-loving measures of the DPRK.

      Sadly the US imperialists and south Korean puppets still plan to go ahead with the Ulji Freedom Guardian military exercises against the DPRK starting from tomorrow (19th of August). The world can clearly see who is for peace and who is for war on the Korean peninusla.
